Study Notes
Cell Organelles and Functions
- Mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells, responsible for producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy currency.
- Ribosomes synthesize proteins by translating messenger RNA (mRNA), crucial for various cellular functions.
- The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
Genetic Processes and Inheritance
- Genetic traits are passed from parents to offspring through the process of inheritance, specifically via genes located on chromosomes.
- Genetic mutations introduce variations in DNA sequences, contributing to evolution by providing raw material for natural selection.
Plant Cells and Energy Production
- Chloroplasts in plant cells facilitate photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy stored in glucose.
Adaptations and Evolution
- Adaptations are traits that enhance an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment, playing a crucial role in the evolution of species.
